    Lyrics:
    "Don't let it go your head, no!"
    Everybody love a star, when he on top
    "Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
    Nobody comes around when the star start to drop
    "Don't let it go your head, no!"
    Strive to help others who help themselves
    "Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
    Knowledge of self, and good health and wealth

      best music is full of meanings, messages, soul and creativity.
      and rarely it becomes mainstream.
      thank ALLAH for that. 'cause of that

      @ATHEIST DWL🤦🏿‍♂️hombre. If you have issues on leaving your mom's basement and talking to people in real life that's on you. It's not hard staying away from people who aren't into what you are. It's also not hard going out, let's say to a store since that's how you equate meeting new people(although there are laws against actually buying people), and MEETING other humans to converse in real life seeing if you have things in common. In real life.... and not just peacocking in RUclips comments. How's that for comprehension?

    Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian told how they wrote their best songs, it's all in the books he was involved in making, *HOW TO RAP* and the follow-up, *HOW TO RAP 2*.
    This is one of his quotes inside them:
    ''Hip-hop is one of the most influential genres in the world,
    and we’re selling all kinds of merchandise for people with
    hip-hop when we can be selling ideas to help change things
    for the better in the world - using this genre for what it
    could be really for: to make change."

You can buy a DVD set of almost any show that's ever been on television, except these. The fact that many of today's youth don't even know this type of Hip-Hop exist...is all by design.

    This is a classic. I think everybody who is a star or wanna star should listen to this. U know cause so many celebrities out whether they are artist, athletes, TV and movie stars think they are all that just because they have one hit song, album, TV show or movie they are next big thing and caught up in the fame and fortune of it all. They’ll have the money, cars, houses, trips, women, people pretending to be your friends and etc. But when it comes crashing down and lose everything they soon realize that all those people who were around them didn’t give a fuck about them and only was around when they had money. That’s what sad cause it still goes on today. That’s why there so many one hit wonders in both the entertainment industry. Having one hit record, show or film is lucky but have it another and more after that not so much. If they do have more hits then they should be humble and learn humility because u a superstar can be here today and gone tomorrow. People will be wondering whatever happen to him, her or them. Why have they fell off and where are they now?

      This shit today ain’t music it’s a play in the ignorance of black peoples by those in control. They purpose is to use black boys and girls to influence our children to be self destructive because they know we are the most easily influenced folk on the earth. If we see it on TV then it must be right especially if we who are the poorest gets paid for it. Real life keep them divided so we can conquer. The crazy thing is we gone spend the next 50 years in complete stupidity and ignorance trying to defend and ignorant ass nigga like a Gucci mane and all slow tongue dragging ass REAL niggas that the record companies can pay to do the record companies job. Hey go out their talk that nigga shit to the young. We’ll give you a Bentley and what else. Real shit by the Nubians and grand master flash was real and they had to stop it. In the white Boyd mind they using the radio to influence young black kids in the way of destruction. We not trying to uplift and enlighten you niggas

      @@RobizGaming2024 lmaook y’all clearly never heard “punks jump up to get beat down” maybe look into the hateful homophobic shit these guys pushed in the 90s before saying how much more meaningful and less profane they are then modern hip hop. Y’all are just fake hip hop heads, want to hear an album that came out THIS YEAR with “meaningful lyrics”? Listen to the newest SADAT X ALBUM. Ever heard of him? Yeah I thought so, that’s weird it’s almost as if he doesn’t even agree with your own fake hip hop head takes, Bc he actually works with people in the modern underground, Bc he actually cares about hip hop. He cares about its evolution and growth, y’all literally like one tiny period Bc you have nostalgia for it. I’m in my 20s and love this album, I love all the classics from this time but I also love countless modern hip hop albums Bc I actually care about the genre. Y’all have to lie and pretend these old legends share your mindset when they don’t lmao they work with modern people and you would know that if you even actually cared about THEM. But you can’t even take the time to keep up with these people you use 😂 it’s so obvious y’all are just the modern pop rap fans but from the 90s, you were into music a couple years when you were a teenager and then grew out of it and didn’t care enough to actually keep up and be versed in the different sub genres. So now you’re one of these losers who goes on every video older then 20 years old saying how much better it is then now it’s embarrassing. Go actually try to find good modern hip hop it isn’t hard, that’s how I made a top FIFTY hip hop albums of this year and like two of them were “trap” or whatever y’all think modern hip hop is. And again if you’re gonna just choose to stay ignorant and go “no all those 50 albums are bad” again you just said Sadat X album is bad. You’re saying Cormega album is bad, as well as Nas, Rockness from Heltah Skeltah, Diamond D, AZ, RZA, DJ Scratch, Phife, Black Thought……..but please go on about what a “90s hip hop head” y’all are even though you just said all the artists I named make bad music
